Virginia, I hope it's OK that I post my recent arrivals here too -- I posted my first ones in the "what are you ordering" thread, and this one seems so much more appropriate if you don't mind.
I received my wonderful order from Fred Manning (our Spunky1) on Thursday after I returned from the beach, and the plants are beauties! Here is a quick pic I snapped just before I started planting yesterday.
I won 13 plants from him through the Lily Auction: ALL REVVED UP, PURPLE SUNBIRD, KYLE'S SMILE, SUBURBAN CAREY ROBERTS, BUDDY'S CUTIE, LILLIAN'S EYE DID IT, SPLASH DANCE, BLUE MARBLE, LITTLE RED GENIE, TRANSITIONS, LILLIAN'S IVORY TOWER, RACING TIME and OCULAR DELIGHT.
Most of them were triples, a couple of doubles, and at least one (LILLIAN'S EYE DID IT) was a quad. And as a gift they included a 7-fan clump of the one I named in their naming contest last year, LILLIAN'S HOT AND SPICY.
Thank you VERY MUCH Fred and Kathleen -- and I simply cannot wait to see them in bloom!
I also received my order from Patrick Guidry, but I didn't think to take any pictures as I'd just returned from the beach and rushed to get them planted on Thursday -- but they are great plants also, mostly Liz Salter smalls and minis from the last couple of years: BACKSTREET MELODY, CHAOS CHOREOGRAPHY, LAVENDER ZIPLINE, MAHOGANY CAVALCADE, ONCE IN A WILD MOON, SHADINGS OF THE MOON, RETURN TO CAMELOT, CITY OF ECHOES, SHADOW RITES and UNTOLD STORIES. And as gift plants he included COTTAGE LIFE and KALEIDOSCOPE THUNDERSTORM. Mr. Guidry always sends really nice plants too.
